For me, it's unbelievable that an entire year has passed since this website went online.
Much work has been done in the programming of the website and I am pleased that the site has met with great interest in you. Meanwhile, the site is even considered as a reference, which makes me incredibly proud. At the beginning I was a little unsure how the site would be received by you, but for me it is a success.
After getting rid of many small bugs (which you have all been telling me diligently), the site became more and more user-friendly. Thanks to all of you!
But not only that was a big help. The active participation of forum members from the dinotoyblog.com in the database was probably the greatest enrichment. A year ago I really didn't think that the database would quadruple. And that still not all figures are covered yet, this fact surprises me now. I underestimated the sheer number of figures and companies.
But what would the database be without all the beautiful pictures? Thanks to everybody who wrote to me or sent pictures. Every message was a blessing. Even simple conversations away from the website, was always a pleasure :)
I would like to end my post with a brief review of the small milestones and a statistical comparison from the beginning to the current state of the website:
